Canto: V
Slökäs 1 to 11: Kampana installed himself Governor of
his father at Marakatanagara (Kanci) and established good
government.
1. Then in the great city called Marataka which
like an ornament of this earth, king Kampaņa
established himself and ruled the earth peacefully and
well.

2. His subjects thought that he was another
incarnation of Vișnu that had come down to this earth,
because he was so victorious, and such a favourite of
gods and virtuous men.
3. His prowess was recognised everywhere; his
actions were always fruitful. He increased the scope
of negotiation among other strategems in achieving his
purpose. Highly intelligent and politic, he was. There
was something original in his statecraft, which showed
he was a real master.
4. Even as the sun with his bright rays unveils
every object on earth, the king, by his skilful employ-
ment of spies, knew everything that was being done by
friends and foes alike.
5. The system of light taxation which he practised
pleased his subjects in his kingdom, and earth herself
showed a great satisfaction by her excellent yield of
corn and other produce.
6. Earth, by finding rest on his strong, attractive,
ornamented and liberal hands, lightened the burden of
Sêşa who was her prime support.
